BlackBerry Media Sync 3.0 Becomes Available Today [Media Sync 3.0 PC Application Brings Two-ways Photo Sync]

RIM has just unveiled that their latest iteration of Media Sync is becoming available starting today at 12:00 PM, EST time. The latest iteration coming from the Canadian stables, Media Syn 3.0 is a desktop PC application that won’t get you wow with its features.

Apparently in addition to music, the one thing that should have been featured all along, is the two-way syncing of photos for PC users — although it’s rumored to be extremely slow. The new Media Sync 3.0 app lets users pull down files and folders from your computer directly to your BlackBerry, allows for more storage space by optimiziing photos for the device, lets users pull photos off their handset and pops up a message when it detects new pictures.

Compatible with every media-capable BlackBerry device, the new application works with both iTunes and Windows Media player, keeps playlist syncing and random music lists. Make sure you run XP SP2 or OS X 10.5.5 and higher, then get yours from www.blackberry.com/mediasync.

Here’s the Media Sync 3 features list:

PC to BlackBerry sync:
•          Add folders for syncing with option to optimize pictures for device
•          Smart memory management: optimizes photo size, allowing for storage of more pictures on device
BlackBerry to PC Import:
•          Media Sync alerts users when new pictures are available to import when device is connected to PC (via pop-up on the pictures tab)

Highlights of Music sync with BlackBerry Media Sync:
•         Sync Options include specific playlists or random music
•         iTunes & Windows Media Player compatible
•         Supports all media capable BlackBerry smartphones
